Once I told I didn't care about security and someone replied me, with much
criticism, that security was paramount and should always be top of my
priorities.

Heck, my apps are plain desktop app, without client-server communication,
without plugin and with fullright.

what is security for me? I wonder...
He never answers me again once I set the kind of app I'm writing.

So I wonder, what is security for me?
(who write plain desktop app, without client-server communication, without
plugin and with fullright)

The only thing I could see is that my dll/exe could be modified by a virus,
but there isn't much I could do about that, or is there?

Here is the good news. In .NET, there is solution for this problem :)

You can digitally sign your output application which will produce a mac code
for binary code. Therefore client is sure, the binary code is not altered
anyone except u (your company)...
